All Tanka products are inspected and approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. All products carry the USDA's trangle logo which indicates inspected and approved bison products.

All food companies are required to comply with all Federal Food Safety Guidelines. While there is no FDA stamp of approval, any food product containing meat has to carry either a State or Federal stamp of approval with the facility number on it.

Because Tanka products contain meat, they are regulated under the USDA and each Tanka Bar Bite and Bar package includes the stamp of inspection on it. The white triangle is the USDA mark for bison.

The mission of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America is to provide support to persons with gluten intolerances, including celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, and other gluten sensitivities, in order to live healthy lives.

The Backpacker Editors' Choice Awards, bestowed annually since 1993, honor the products that Backpacker editors have chosen as the best of the year based on months of trail testing by teams of highly experienced hikers and climbers. With no set categories for the awards and no set number of recipients, the products and the testing process drive the award categories.

All Tanka products have been certified as authentically made/produced by American Indians by the Intertribal Agriculture Council, an organization that pursues and promotes the conservation, development and use of Native American agricultural resources for the betterment of our people. More on IAC
